Government is a step closer towards establishing the platform that will provide training for 6,000 Guyanese by the Barbados tourism and hospitality sector.
The first set of training will be a hybrid of virtual and in-person and is expected to be rolled out within the next two weeks, acting Guyana Tourism Authority Director, Kamrul Baksh told Stabroek News.
“So far we have met with the counterparts in Barbados, Alison Peacock from the National Transformative Initiative, which is a project that was launched by Barbados to up-skill Barbadians. So we feel we can tap into this programme as well, where Guyanese can up-skill [themselves],” Baksh explained. According to Baksh, the arrangement with the Barbadian hospitality sector is to start the training online and then transition into practical training.
